Crow, Sheryl Anything But Down Chords Guitar Tab

Artist: Sheryl Crow
Song: Anything But Down
Album: The Globe Sessions.
Tabbed by Gemini.
Hi there! This is the first time that I'm tabbing, so bear with me.
I am also a musician and maybe someday you'll be tabbing my
songs…. (hey, wishful thinking never hurt anyone!). Well, here goes:
Tuning: standard (E A D G B E)
There are parts for two guitars here, but it sounds ok if you play only Guitar
1's (G1) part too, which is what I do. Or if you can find
a friend then they can play Guitar 2 (G2), a lead.
Weird chords:
F#/A
E |----0---|
B |----0---|
G |----2---|
D |----0---|
A |----0---|
E |----2---|
'p': pull off
'h': hammer on
'B': bend
's': slide
Intro: (G1) Em x 8 bars (32 beats)
Intro: (G2)
RIFF 1:
Bar 1 G1 enter Bar 2
E |-------------|---0h2p0-------------------------- |----0h2p0--------------------|
B |-------------|-----------------3s2-----0-------- |-----------------3s2-----3---|
G |-------------|---------------------------------- |-----------------------------|
D |----2h4----- |-------------------------------2h4 |-----------------------------|
A |-------------|---------------------------------- |-----------------------------|
E |-------------|---------------------------------- |-----------------------------|
Repeat RIFF 1 twice.
Em D Am C
I light your cigarette, I bring you apples from the vine
Em D Am C
How quickly you forget, I run the bath and pour the wine
Em F#/A C
I bring you everything that floats into your mind
G D Am C
Now you don’t bring me anything but down (repeat x 3)
Em
When you come round
Em D Am C
You are a raging sea, I pull myself out everyday
Em D Am C
I plea insanity, ‘cause I can't leave and I can't stay
Em F#/A C
You say won’t you come find me and yes is what I’ll say
G D Am C
You don’t bring me anything but down (repeat x 2)
Em D Am C
And everything is crashing to the ground
G D
Maybe I'm not the perfect kind
Am C
Maybe I’m not what you had in mind
G Am C
And maybe we’re just killing time
inst. (G1) G D Am C G D Am
inst. (G2)
e |---3s7---8---10---12s5---3h5p3h5---7---8---10---12s5---5p3---3h5---3s0---|
(high e, the thinnest string)
Em D Am C
You with your silky words, and your eyes of green and blue
Em D Am C
You with your steel beliefs that don’t match anything you do
Em F#/A C
You were so much easier before you became you.
G D Am C
You don’t bring me anything but down. (repeat x 2)
G D Am C
And everything just crashes to the ground.
G D Am C
When you come around.
G Am C
When you come around ..
G D
Well no more playing seek and hide,
Am C
No more long and wasted nights,
G D Am C
Can't you make it easy on yourself.
G D
Well I know you wish you were strong,
Am C
You wish you were never wrong,
G D Am (end by strumming once down on the Am cord.)
Well I got some wishes of my own.
Thanks for your patience and enjoy the song. Any queries, comments,
or if you know something I don’t, then please feel free
to contact me: skitzofrenic@hotmail.com

The meaning of this song is pretty clear: it's about a one-sided relationship, in which the other half does nothing to satisfy Sheryl as she sort of carries him. He is unavailable, both practically and emotionally. I just have to say that while topic-wise and sound-wise this song isn't really unique or special, I just think it's one of the most perfectly-crafted rock songs ever. It's just...unbelievable how flawless it is, from start to finish. I especially love the end..."I know you wish you were strong/You wish you were never wrong/Well I got some wishes of my own.." The way her voice carries on "own"...::drools::

I agree with the previous comment(WHY IS THERE ONLY ONE COMMENT ON THIS SONG?)... for some reason this song drifted into my mind today while in the bathtub. i love the whole concept, so simple, yet executed so well: "I light your cigarettes I bring you apples from the vine how quickly you forget I run the bath and pour the wine I bring you everything that floats into your mind but you don't bring me anything but down," yeah, it's sad to realize everything you've ever done or said to a person has been totally taken for granted and really all you've been is used the entire time of knowing the person. "you with your steel beliefs that don't match anything you do," so great. i've known people like that... they like to say they're "so understanding, so level-headed, so thoughtful"...but in reality, they're nothing but a self-absorbed ass who passes judgement on others but feels free to do the things they supposedly are against. it's always ok for them to do it, but not ok for anyone else to. the type of person who believes in voting but never actually votes themselves. this is one of my favorites...and i love the end the most. for me, it's her summing up all of the times she's listened to him complain to her about things, as if she's singing the last part during her last statement to him before she walks out the door. "well, I've got some wishes of my own" ... and that's her closing bit in this song...very appropriate. people are so caught up in what they want they don't open their eyes long enough to give a damn about how anyone else feels. it's disgusting, and i like to think tha after saying those last lines she's walking out the door, slamming it, then gets in the car and leaves the jerk for good.

Funny that some of my favourite Sheryl´s songs are about her rupture with Eric Clapton (my favourite mistake, it don´t hurt, anything but down...). This proves that love is a great inspiration but losing love is even more.
